Concerning radio programs on SD cards.
The last time I was in the Hospital my adult children would bring me
the radio dramas that I had been listening to on an
SD card so that I may listen to them at my leisure. The average life
of the PNY 4GB SD card was less than 2 weeks.

Went Read only.

a PNY 8GB USB Drive lasted 6 weeks.
it just went dark. a mini brick.

SD card belong in cameras or cellular telephones.

I've had a few PNY sd's in my Openelec, and they all died within weeks, 
switched to Sandisk, no problems whatever, faster too!
